Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 DG OS HSM Sport (Canon EF)
The Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 DG OS HSM Sports is a professional-grade telephoto zoom designed for Canon EF-mount full-frame DSLRs. Part of Sigma’s Sports line, it combines a bright constant f/2.8 aperture, robust build, and advanced optics for sports, events, portraits, and demanding outdoor work.
Optical Performance
The lens features 24 elements in 22 groups, including nine FLD (“F” Low Dispersion) and one SLD element. These specialized glasses effectively control chromatic aberration and deliver high resolution and contrast from center to edge across the zoom range. An 11-blade rounded diaphragm produces smooth, attractive bokeh ideal for isolating subjects.

- Dust- and splash-proof construction with weather sealing at critical points and water/oil-repellent coating on front and rear elements
- Minimum focusing distance of 1.2 m and maximum magnification of 1:4.8
- Fixed tripod collar for balanced support and improved handling
- 82mm filter thread and compatibility with Sigma 1.4x and 2x teleconverters
